Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.
The entire HR department at the CDC is gone. Everyone at the IRB, which makes sure studies are conducted ethically and rigorously, and the ethics office, which oversee conflicts of interest for CDC leaders and advisory committee members, were also let go.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

And after all that grandstanding, @corybooker.com's weird ass mysteriously didn't have shit to say when it was proposed in the Senate. His objection alone would have killed it, but the Negro Who Spoke somehow couldn't or wouldn't this time around.
It's not just the press.
Hakeem Jefferies is literally the first black minority leader, and he voted to honor Charlie Kirk before he endorsed Mamdani
This country is fucking cooked
As far as I'm concerned, the entire DNC establishment is working with the GOP

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

A federal judge has ordered Mississippi to redraw its Supreme Court district lines, after determining they violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965. U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock ruled the map — which has remained mostly unchanged for over a century — unlawfully dilutes the power of Black voters.
